Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi speech on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to mention the contribution of the Indian public to the framing of the Constitution of India. Here are top 5 noteworthy quotes:

1. “I listened to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi talk about our Constitution a few days ago in the Parliament. He mentioned Gandhi, he praised Ambedkar, he spoke about the contribution of Rajendra Prasad and Sardar Patel,” Rahul Gandhi said.

2. “He even had a couple of words for Jawaharlal Nehru. While I listened to his speech, I could see how profoundly we differ in our thinking,” Gandhi added.

3. Rahul Gandhi said that for Prime Minister Narendra Modi the great people he mentioned were intellectual heroes worthy to be worshiped. They had all the answers to India’s problems.

4. However, Rahul Gandhi said that for him personally, “What was heroic about the people Prime Minister Modi mentioned was their ability to listen to the people of India. They are my heroes not because they had all the answers but because they had the humility to ask the right questions.”

5. Finally, Rahul Gandhi sought to nail the point he was making and said, “For him the real authors of the constitution were people of the country Prime Minister Modi did not talk about. They are the people of India. Constitution gives all Indians fundamental rights. All of us here swore an oath to protect these rights for each one of our citizens”.

My views are closer to views of Rahul than views of Modi. Rahul has talked sense.

Mrs, Anibiesent formed Congress during british regime to achieve independence to India. Am I right? Latter Mohandas Karamchand hi a Gujarti person took the lead under the banner of Congress and we finally got independence. Congress was formed to get Independence and majority of the patriots wanted the Congress to be dissolved after achieving Independence. Am I right Mr. Rahul hi? If I am wrong please correct.

I dont understand why cant we celebrate the birth anniversaries of the 'other' neglected members of the consution committee like we do for Ambedkar?? How many of us KNOW who were there in the committee?? Contrary to Modi's ignorant statements BR AMbedkar didnt "write" the consution..he compiled from the different consutions of the world and each member of the committee had exactly equal contribution (in fact committee members had more contribution than the committee head i.e. Ambedkar) in the forming our consution...All members should be awarded Bharat Ratna !

Q : Are you sure, Sir, Raul has lost all chances to become PM ? in spite of his directly attacking our PM so boldly ! A : Mere barking doesn't make any sense - successful ones cultivate wit, humour, statesmanship, intelligent planning, team-spirit. Glorifying oneself in isolation with brainless cronies around is only stepping into steep fall.

Rajanath Singh is about to re write the consution by excluding the word "Secular" Why Rahul wastes precious time on the consution which will not exist from the very near future ?

Very pertinent point, our consution is the product of aspirations of millions and millions of women and men, who dared lathis, jails, bullets, and gallows of British colonizers...
